How webirc works:

The user opens a mibbit client and requests a connect to, e.g., irc.blah.com
The Mibbit backend checks irc.blah.com for matches in mibbit's webirc database
If found the backend sends the webirc tag along with the user's IP and the password (chosen by the server admin) to irc.blah.com
The server (irc.blah.com) checks all requests from 207.192.75.252, 64.62.228.82, 78.129.202.38 and 109.169.29.95 (ircip1 .. ircip4.mibbit.com) for the correct password and then converts ident to "Mibbit" and @*.mibbit.com to the user's host name (most networks obfuscate the host for non ircops). The network now allows an (almost) unlimited number of users from mibbit's IP
